Leader of Poland’s Catholic Church blames children for being sexually abused by priests

Archbishop Jozef Michalik of Poland said that a child
from a troubled family "seeks closeness with others and may get lost and
may get the other person involved, too." This is the mindset of the catholic hierarchy
and it is not the first time the children have been blamed. How can we stop
these crimes when their minds are warped?

Of course when there was an outcry from citizens and
prominent politicians expressing outrage Michalik said he was misunderstood and
apologized. According to reporters, Michalik had supported a parish priest
convicted in 2004 of child sex abuse. One of the priest's victims said she was
horrified by Michalik's latest remarks. "Archbishop Michalik's words make
us feel fear and revulsion," Ewa Orlowska said.

Poland's church has been hiding cases of sex abuse since
2001. Some 27 Polish priests have been tried for sex abuse since 2001, but most
of them had their prison terms suspended. Can victims get justice in Poland
where there is no need to report priests to state investigators?

Over and over we hear a familiar cry from the church's
defenders. They say that priests are being singled out for blame while teachers
and sports coaches also sexually abuse children. Do they realize that statement
is basically an admission that they are pedophiles? They are saying, “We do it
but so does everyone else” – does that make it less of a crime?

The catholic clergy are experts at denial and lies. Dominican
Republic investigators recently accused two Polish clergymen of child sex abuse:
Archbishop Jozef Wesolowski, the Vatican's ambassador who was then removed by
the vatican, and Rev. Wojciech Gil, a parish priest. Gil denied sexually abusing
children and said that the Dominican drug mafia was taking revenge on him for
his educational work.

Do all these child molesters think that we are naive and
out of touch with reality? Do they ignore the growing global network that now
watches every move they make? They are on a slippery slope that can only lead down
to where they belong.

About Me

When I was three and a half years old, I and my five year
old brother Frankie were raped by a catholic priest and put in St. Agnes Home and School in Sparkill, NY. I was beaten every day and then smothered by a catholic
nun. I didn't die but I was in a coma for almost year, leaving me brain damaged. After we got out, my
brother killed himself because he couldn't help me or accept the abuse we received. I want everyone to know
about the brutality and crime then and still going on in the catholic church. I want to stop
the crimes the church commits against our children and us and get justice for the victims. Give me your ideas
so that we all succeed in making this world safer for our children.
